Officer Mike Lopez of the LAPD told the Palisades Post: "I believe the cause [of the Ferrari driver’s death] was a high rate of speed and the individual lost control, colliding into several vehicles."Fischer said that Wilson’s vehicle had only incurred minor damage, telling the radio station: “It basically got clipped by the Ferrari."

Haas' relatives revealed that the golfer, ranked 67th in the world, miraculously did not suffer any broken bones.

His father Jay told Golf Channel reporter Todd Lewis that he is in pain with swelling in his leg but that he is expected to make a full recovery.
